PhpFile

Save the cache as PHP script to on the filesystem using var_export when storing cache and include when loading cache.

The implementation leverages the PHP engine’s in-memory file caching (opcache) to cache application data in addition to code. This method is particularly fast in PHP7.2+ due to opcode cache optimizations.

PHP file caching should primarily be used for arrays and objects. There is no performance benefit over APCu for storing strings.

Options

name	type	default
ttl	int	null	Maximum time to live in seconds
prefix	string	""	Key prefix
filename	string or callable	"%s.php"	Filename as sprintf format

Filename option

The filename will be parsed using sprintf where '%s' is substituted with the key.

Instead of a string, filename may also be set to a callable, like a callable object or closure. In that case the callable will be called to create a filename as

$filename = $callable($key);

BasicFilename

The library comes with invokable object as callable for the filename. The BasicFilename object works as described above.

TrieFilename

The TrieFilename object will create a prefix tree directory structure. This is useful where a lot of cache files would cause to many files in a directory.

Specify the sprintf format and the directory level to the constructor when creating a TrieFilename object.

use Desarrolla2\Cache\File as FileCache;
use Desarrolla2\Cache\File\TrieFilename;

$callback = new TrieFilename('%s.php', 2);

$cache = (new FileCache(sys_get_temp_dir() . '/cache'))
    ->withOption('filename', $callback);

In this case, adding an item with key foobar would be create a file at

/tmp/cache/f/fo/foobar.php

Packer

By default the NopPacker is used. Other packers should not be used.
